Hello,
I have a problem with my HTC desire and would greatly appreciate any help. So, this is what happens:i've had the phone for about1 mo.th and had no probl until about 5 days ago when the pjone started acting as if the HOME, MENU and VOLUME UP keys were being pressed,but i didn't press any of them. Sometimes it happened for minutes. Then, it changed,if i pressed the home button, the phone would bring up the volume and the keypad, if i pressed the menu button, it would act as if i would hold down the home button for a few seconds and also, would bring up tje volume. Also, when this happens, the volume down button won't work. Very few times everything works fine sincd the probls started. I factory reseted the phone twice but no change. Everything else,calls, texting, internet works fine, but since the home button is being activated so often by itself, it will close the texting or the internet. No water damage. I dropped it once, but from e very small height.
What shall I do? Can anyone help? Has anyone had the same problem? I really like this phone.
Thank you
1st time I heard of this...
Suggest you to rule out any 3rd party applications.
If you still can't figure it out, you should be taking advantage of your warranty...

sound suspiciously like water damage to me
Hi, I appreciate your prompt reply to my post. I disabled any third-party applications and also, it hasn;t been water damaged, I was careful this shouldn't happen. however, it still continues to act strangely. I found someone describing the same issues with their phone while googling this malfunctioning
If you can think of anything how I can solve this, please let me know,
Cheers,
tim
anyone having random issues with their notification drop down? every so often, the pull down window will "lock" and refuse to move up or down after unlocking the phone or during usage. It's weird as the whole screen will shake and the phone becoming unresponsive. it's like the phone encountered a seizure and can't snap out of it. Sometimes pressing the home button fixes the issue, but other times, a hold down power button reset is needed. thoughts if i'm the only one or if others have also experienced this.
I've never seen this with my 5X. Is it only when you pull down the noti bar? Have you tried a factory reset?
Hello,
With someone else happens this:
In several moments when I'm typing on whatsapp, it minimizes alone, I thought it was me pressing the button home, but it is not. everything is already updated and the problem continues. It is not a problem but critical stresses.
How to solve?
Just changed the ASUS keyboard by GOOGLE keyboard.
Hi everyone,
I accidentally rebooted my Nexus 7 kind of funny by holding down the power button. I was trying to take a screenshot. Instead, it rebooted.
Ever since then the home button hasn't worked. I tried wiping the dalvik and the cache. No luck there.
Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone have a fix?
no?
Maybe the default application for home is not set sny more. Try a second launcher?
I am wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue that happens to my phone every few weeks. I don't usually reboot my phone, but sometimes I do. Occasionally, when the phone starts, the screen is completely black. If I shine a flashlight on it, I can sometimes faintly see the screen. The only thing that can resolve it is holding down the power button for 10 seconds so it restarts.
Sometimes when it happens, if I'm in the car etc, I can't tell if the phone is on or off, so it's a bit of a headache.
I've completely reset my phone and flashed an Android 10 Image a few months ago, but it still occurs. ( This was a full factory reset with clearing cache etc in recovery ). I've never rooted the phone, but have always had bootloader unlocked.
Anyone else ever experience this?

I'm still on Android 9 and occasionally this happens to me too. I rarely reboot so I don't notice it that much but it does happen. If I hold the power button down I can feel the vibrate feedback for the power menu presumably. I've never tried to troubleshoot it investigate because it happens too infrequently for me
